Ok, upon further inspection, I'm switching this back to "new" simply because it has not been "confirmed" by more than one person. The original reporter is not the person filing the bug, which means this needs to be "confirmed" by someone other than the reporter.
Furthermore, LP: #2005124 doesn't apply here as it was a completely separate issue. The reason I was a little hesitant is because it looked like, mostly based on the askubuntu question, the person was legitimately asking for support not filing a bug report. Launchpad is for bug reports, not support questions, unless it's on the support tracker. This part (bugs.launchpad.net) is the bug tracker. Either way, I apologize for my earlier response as I shouldn't be punishing people for pointing out problems where they might exist. I'm testing right now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2051313 Title: font-config confilcts ubuntustudio-default-settings upgrading from 22.04 to 24.04 Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ubuntustudio-default-settings package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This bug was migrated from https://askubuntu.com/q/1501240/1004020 . A nearly identical bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/2005124 . It fixed things for `kubuntu-settings-desktop` but not `ubuntustudio- default-settings`. Please add an analogous fix. A similar but potentially unrelated bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntustudio-default- settings/+bug/2037471 . 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Not my computer. 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center Not my computer. 3) What you expected to happen The AskUbuntu user's upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 to complete successfully. 4) What happened instead The upgrade failed and they posted to AskUbuntu. # Copy of their question body After an upgrade to ``` Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu Noble Numbat (development branch) Release: 24.04 Codename:noble ``` apt won't update bcs of unmet dependencies. ``` The following packages have unmet dependencies: libfontconfig1 : Depends: fontconfig-config (>= 2.14.2-6ubuntu1) libfontconfig1:i386 : Depends: fontconfig-config:i386 (>= 2.14.2-6ubuntu1) E: Unmet dependencies.

The `ubuntustudio-default-settings` package needs to be updated first but the maintainers forgot to add an automatic `Conflicts:` line. You can retry installing the package in the correct order by running `sudo apt install --upgrade ubuntustudio-default-settings`. If that does not work, you need to forcibly reinstall things in the correct order: ```bash sudo -i apt update apt download ubuntustudio-default-settings apt download fontconfig-config # Temporarily force-uninstall only ubuntustudio-default-settings # so that we DON'T uninstall ubuntustudio-desktop dpkg --force-all -r ubuntustudio-default-settings dpkg --force-all -i ./fontconfig-config_* dpkg --force-all -i ./ubuntustudio-default-settings_* dpkg --configure -a apt --fix-broken install apt upgrade apt dist-upgrade ``` # Analysis Please apply an analogous fix. Where I mentioned `Conflicts:` on AskUbuntu, a `Pre-Depends:` may be necessary instead as I read somewhere on Launchpad.
